I completely agree with old_before! You are still VERY early in the healing...I have had 8 abdominal surgeries and it takes time for the body to heal, the drugs to leave the system and the energy to come back...so give it time and rest when you body asks! Hang in there...it will get better!

You are still very early in the healing process. It takes at least 6 months for full internal healing. Also, if ovaries were removed or they fail post-hysterectomy, then the severe loss of ovarian hormones will likely cause a number of symptoms including inability to sleep normally and fatigue amongst others.

Please be sure to take it easy during the recommended time frame for optimal healing. It may be helpful to journal symptoms so you can discuss with your doctor.
